Patent GB-835777-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to labelling machines
Inventor: FAIREST DEREK HOWARD
IPC: B65C9/32
Filed: 1956-12-21
Abstract: 835,777. Labelling machines. FAIREST Ltd., M. Dec. 23, 1957 [Oct. 21, 1956; March 13, 1957], Nos. 38932/56 and 8206/57. Class 73 Bottles fed in succession on a conveyer have labels applied to them by a suction delivery drum rotatably mounted at one side of the conveyer to nip each bottle between itself and a pressure member mounted at the other side of the conveyer and to apply each label by rolling action between itself and the bottle. According to the invention the labelling machine is designed to apply labels to both flat-faced and circular bottles. For labelling flat or substantially flat-faced bottles, the delivery drum 6, Fig. 2, is rotated with a peripheral speed equal to the speed of the conveyer 10 and the pressure member, which comprises a drum 16, is also rotated in the same direction and with the same peripheral speed as the conveyer. The drum 6 thus rolls the label on to the bottle. For labelling bottles of circular section, the drum 16 is stationary and an endless band 17, which for flat faced bottles moves with the drum 16 around a pulley 19, is also stationary and is moved across the conveyer to the position shown in Fig. 9. This causes the bottle to rotate and application of the label, the bottle then rolling forward at one half of the peripheral speed of the delivery drum 6, the conveyer being also driven at one half of that sped. For flat-faced bottles endless bands 20, 21 moving together as shown in Fig. 2 press the labels firmly to the bottles before discharge, while in the case of circular bottles, the band 21 is stationary and the band 22, still driven, further rolls the bottles along the band 21. Spacers 24, Fig. 8, adjustably carried by the drum 6 ensure that each bottle is correctly positioned in relation to the suction openings 9 and to the labels 7A held thereby. Gummed labels are fed to the drum 6 by the mechanism described in Specification 777,133. Specification 833,685 also is referred to.

Title: Linkage for operating and ancillary device of a vehicles power  unit
IPC: B60K26/04
Filed: 1973-08-17
Abstract: 1447061 Linkwork BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE AG 17 Aug 1973 [17 Aug 1972 38953/73 Heading F2K [Also in Division F1] A rod or cable linkage for operating an ancillary device, e.g. a carburetter, of a motor vehicle engine and including a control member, e.g. an accelerator pedal 3, comprises portions 1 and 2 connected by a transmission member 6. Vibrations transmitted to the member 6 from the portion 1 at the connection 17 cause vibration of the member about its centre of percussion and the connection 7 of the member to the portion 2 is such that the vibrations are not transmitted to the portion 2. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 2b the lever 9 of the linkage portion 2 pivoting about the axis 10 is connected to the arms 15 and 16 of the member 6 by a rubber element 7 which permits vibration of the member 6 about the arms 20 through its centre of percussion. A supplementary mass 21 is carried by the member 6 to increase its moment of inertia. In further embodiments of the connection between the transmission member and a lever of the linkage portion 2, Figs. 3 and 5 to 12 (not shown), the connection takes various forms including rubber-metal elements in the connections and a plastics transmission member (50), Fig. 10, (not shown) having integral resilient connecting flanges (52, 53). The transmission member (62), Fig. 13 (not shown), may be in the form of a lever mounted for pivoting movement about the axis of a pin (66), with an interposed rubber-metal element (67), between pivot connections to rods (63 and 64) of the linkage portions 1 and 2. The centre of percussion (5) is at the pivot (65) between the member (62) and the rod (64) of the linkage portion 2 and the rubber-metal element (67) permits vibration of the member about the centre of percussion.

A machine for smoothing and polishing granite &c. comprises a frame 10, movable on guides 12 and supporting at least two coplanar working heads 27 connected at a variable separation and movable along the frame 10, means being provided to urge the heads 27 into contact with a working surface 34 at uniform pressure. The heads 27 are supported on carriage 18, and are driven by motors 23 through belts 24, pulleys 25 and spline shafts 26. Vertical head adjustment is achieved by motors (57), Fig. 4 (not shown), acting through rack and pinion gearing (58), (59) to raise or lower tubes 60, linked to plates 37 axially locked with respect to the shafts 26 by hydraulic jacks 29. Actuation of the jacks 29 allows a fine position and working pressure adjustment, a parallel hydraulic feed arrangement maintaining equal working head pressures. Head separation is adjusted by a motor 42 geared to spindles 21, Fig. 2 (not shown), axially fixed with respect to the carriage 18 bearing the motor 42 and screwengaged with the other carriage 18. In operation, the carriages 18 are reciprocated on guides 20 by an hydraulic jack 28 whose stroke is controlled according to the working head separation by a stop (54), Fig. 2 (not shown), engageable with a microswitch (53). A bush (46) geared to the motor 42 is slidable but locked against rotation on a hexagonal bar (47), rigid with a screw-threaded extension (49), and on actuating the motor 42 to position the carriages 18 a non-rotatable bush (50) on the extension (49), bearing the microswitch (53), is correspondingly axially adjusted.

[Also in Division F4] Inserting and removing a tuyere 5 from a blast furnace is effected by apparatus which applies both a steady force and a superposed impact force to the tuyere 5 via a drawing rod 2 and a tuyere holding device. The steady force is applied by pull and push compressed air cylinders (8, Fig. 1) attached to each side of a reciprocating air hammer 1 slidably mounted on the rod 2 between two impact receivers 17 rigidly fixed on the rod 2. The air hammer 1 provides the impact force. For removing a tuyere the forces are applied through a drawing jig 13 whose hook portions are opened to engage the inner end of the tuyere (see Fig. 1) by applying pressure to the piston of an air cylinder 7, linked to the jig 13 by a mandrel 3 slidable within the rod 2. For inserting a tuyere the force direction is reversed, the forces being transmitted to the tuyere by a flange 15 which is coupled to a fixture 6 engaging the outside of the tuyere by a compression spring 16. The apparatus is mounted on a truck 12 which has means 18 for adjusting its height, and fasteners 11 to rigidly connect the truck to the furnace wall.
